EVERTON will link-up with super-agent Mino Raiola to avoid another messy summer transfer window… with Sam Allardyce facing the sack, according to shock reports.
The Mirror claim the Toffees are plotting a major summer overhaul – also set to let go of director of football Steve Walsh.
PSV’s Marcel Brands has already agreed a deal in principle to head to Goodison Park to become Everton’s sporting director as part of the move.
Last summer, Ronald Koeman oversaw a near-£200million summer spree – but was promptly sacked after a horror start to the season.
David Unsworth took over as caretaker and was eventually replaced by Allardyce – who hasn’t fared much better.
Everton currently sit ninth in the Premier League – a whopping 25 points adrift of the top four.
Allardyce still has a little over 12 months on his £6m per year deal – signed in November.
Brands is now en route to Everton – a man claimed to be responsible for discovering the likes of Georginio Wijnaldum, Dries Mertens and Kevin Strootman.

The Dutchman is a close friend of Raiola – whose clients include the likes of Paul Pogba, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Mario Balotelli.
Now Toffees chairman Farhad Moshiri is eyeing up a move for Raiola as part of a drastic summer transfer strategy shake-up.
